"He Xue, what exactly happened?" Consort Tongjia asked.
The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were also looking at He Xue. When they arrived, they only saw Wanliuhashi making He Xue kneel. They didn't know what had happened.
"aunt,……"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived!" Ren Dong said from outside the door.
"Understood!" Consort Tongjia replied. "Hexue, may we go out now?"
“Yes!” He Xue said.
Then Consort Tongjia had the Fourth Prince help He Xue drive to the main hall.
"Oh dear, my stomach!" Wanliuhashi's cries rose and fell.
Emperor Kangxi looked at Wanliuhashi with a furrowed brow, wondering what he was thinking.
Emperor Kangxi has already sent Liang Jiugong to investigate what exactly happened.
Seeing that Kangxi didn't even glance at her, Wanliuhashi raised her voice, "Your Majesty, am I about to die? What will happen to the child in my womb?"
Consort Hui looked at the affected Wanliuhashi with utter contempt, "Shameless! Even at this time, she's still trying to seduce His Majesty. What a vixen!"
"Say less!" Consort Rong patted Consort Hui's hand.
Consort Hui reluctantly shut her mouth.
"Physician Liu, hurry up and examine Consort Wanliuha, lest she pin something on me!" Consort Tongjia said, helping Hexue walk over.
Only then did Physician Liu go to diagnose Wan Liuha. No one had asked him to diagnose Wan Liuha, and he didn't dare to step forward!
A moment later, Imperial Physician Liu respectfully reported to Emperor Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the Consort is in good health, and the fetus in her womb is also fine!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Wanliuhashi pointed at Doctor Liu's nose and shouted, "You quack! My stomach hurts so much, how can I be fine? Have you been bribed?"
Wanliuhashi practically declared that Physician Liu had been bribed by Consort Tongjia.
"Your Majesty, I am merely stating the facts. If the concubine does not believe me, she may request other physicians to diagnose the condition!" Physician Liu said, bowing to Emperor Kangxi.
"Alright, I understand! You may go back now!" Kangxi said to Physician Liu.
Physician Liu immediately packed his things and left.
Looking at Wanliuhashi, who kept cursing Doctor Liu, He Xue thought that Wanliuhashi was just a beautiful but brainless fool.
Who knows who you might offend? There are two types of people you absolutely must not offend: the cook and the doctor.
"Shut up!" Kangxi roared at Wanliuhashi, "What kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling like that!"
Wanliuhashi then reluctantly shut his mouth.
"Your Majesty, let's hear what exactly happened!" Consort Tongjia said to Emperor Kangxi.
"Hmm!" Kangxi nodded. "Who will tell us what happened?"
He Xue stepped forward and said, "Uncle Emperor, let me speak!" She then prepared to kneel down.
"Just stand there and talk!" Kangxi looked at He Xue, whose arm was already draped around her neck and whose knee was injured. He immediately felt a headache coming on. Fortunately, Su Hetai was not in the capital, otherwise he would not know how to face Su Hetai.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He Xue curtsied to Emperor Kangxi. "I met Consort Wanliuha in the Imperial Garden!"
He Xue then recounted her conversation with Wan Liuhashi in its entirety.
“Uncle Emperor, I don’t care how the concubine punishes me, but she shouldn’t belittle my aunt.”
Furthermore, if the baby is a girl, wouldn't the emperor, the maternal uncle, like her? Or would the emperor favor the concubine even more if she gave birth to a boy?
Upon hearing He Xue's words, the Crown Prince was furious. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Kangxi was there, he would have dealt with Wanliuhashi on the spot.
The Fourth Prince also glanced at Wanliuhashi with displeasure. How dare Wanliuhashi slander her mother! She deserves to die!
"Absurd!" Emperor Kangxi slammed his fist on the table in anger.
Seeing that Emperor Kangxi was angry, Lady Wanliuha immediately knelt before him, saying, "Your Majesty, you cannot listen to only He Xue's side of the story!"
“Consort, Nanxing and the people around you can all testify that what I said is true!” He Xue said.
"Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, I can guarantee with my life that everything the Princess said is true!" Nanxing said, kneeling down.
“Of course your people will side with you!” Wanliuhashi retorted.
"Then what do you suggest?" He Xuezhen really didn't want to get entangled with Wanliuhashi any longer.
"Take this palace maid away and interrogate her carefully. If she still says the same thing after a thorough interrogation, then it means she is not lying!" Wanliuha said smugly, not believing that Nanxing could withstand the interrogation.
"No way!" He Xue refused without even thinking.
